De Bakker vs Becker by Experttennis

Even though De Bakker lost with ease his match against the French player Benoit Paire in the qualifications for Monte Carlo past week I have decided to give him a second chance here . He is facing a player who is good enough on this kind of surface but has yet to play his first match on clay this season and I think that is the fact that will be a key part in this one . De Bakker played well on clay this season passing the qualifications most of the time and he is better player in my opinion . Both of this two players are hard hitters with massive serves and a lot of power behind their shots but Thiemo has more experience , he moves better and he just looks closer to winning this one in straight sets than Becker taking a set . Becker last match was against Mahut which he lost in straight sets in France and if he didnt spend all of the meantime preparing on clay I just dont see him playing well here or even bothering the Dutch player .
